parents nowadays, are more lax on discipline (i'm not saying beating is the way to go), but you definitely need them to know who is the parent and who is the child. Keyword: child. We need them to realize they're just kids at that age, and have no idea what they're getting themselves into. When I was that age, I was swinging in trees, and playing house and other such things.

Parents just don't care anymore. I don't even get how parents are letting their kids get on the internet unsupervised. I didn't get on the internet until i was 18 years old.
I mean if a teenager is going to have sex then they should have enough common sense to go and get on birth control and use condoms. I will never understand why a teenager would want to have a baby so young.
I was 16 when i had sex but i took my ownself and got on birth control and i married the guy i lost my virginty too. I am now 27 years old with one child which is 5 years old.
People need to get some sense and start watching their kids and stop letting them have so much freedom and the kids needs some sense knocked into them about birth control.

First: It is not always the parents falut I have seen parents who don't let there kids leave the house 80% of the time children get pregnant the child either sneeks out, Lies about where they are going, or do it at school!
Second: What are they supposed to do? Lock them down put bars on there windows padlocks on there doors? get something that lets them know if there child is kissing a guy/girl? thats retarded
Threed: Less children would get pregnant if they had something to do after school besides homework computer internet ext they are boerd and can't find nothing eles to do
Forth: if parents talked to there children and told them the truth about sex and not tell them Sex is bad your not allowed to do it and if you do you'll pay the price One: that makes them wanna know whats so bad about it and the only way to find out is to do it Two: thats not right thats making there children feel unloved Three: there is nothing wrong with sex you should just know what your getting into when you do it
and I find it odd that years ago people forced there children to get married and have children from the ages 10-14 but now adays it so wrong now I realize they aren't married so yeah thats real bad but people today don't seem to are that it's the fact that there not married but the fact of there age when hello ur great some grandma was her age and having a baby and married to some guy she didn't wanna marry at least it's there choice ( well for those it is ) now I am NOT saying it is right for young children to have sex I think they should wait till they are alot older and maturer I will be 15 in march and am PROUD to say I am a vrigin but however I have an open mind and see things pretty clear.

Parents feel like they want to be the "Cool" parent. It is very sad, these children are children, they should not HAVE children. Let alone that they make all other intelligent children look positively stupid, and it makes it very hard for the responsible kids out there to do anything, and the fact that the parents don't feel like pushing their "Social norms" on the child. These parents need either to go to a parenting class, or have their children taken from them. It absolutely sickens me. Also is the factor: Look at their "Roll Models". They are usually anorexic singers that are doing some form of lap dance in the music video.

If a 10 or even 9 year has her first period than she is capable of getting pregnant. Why do you think the rest of the world sees all American girls as $luts? It's because most of them are going out and losing their virginity on purpose. Parents need to spend more time in their kids lives and forbid their daughters from going out except to school. And get rid of sex ed class because that never really works either. Instead of avoiding the sex talk because it might be embarrissing the parents need to tell their daughters as soon as they have their first period that they can get pregnant if they go out and have sex.

A parents role is to educate their children not to engage in immoral acts. Parents cannot stand guard over their children at all times but can give them the knowledge to stand guard over themselves. Unfortunately, peer pressure and other external influences often work against this happening.
When I was young no girl would admit to having sex, even if they had. Now they all claim to sexual experience even if they have none. Peer pressure is a very strong force which reflects a general change in the societies idea of what is moral.

I can't believe it either, I have a 7 yr old and I worry all the time about her and her teenage yrs. But I know that I need to start worrying about it now. I don't want to tell her yet about the birds and bees, but I think that I am going to have to soon so she hears about it from me and hopefully I can instill moral values so she doesn't start acting like these little kids that come home pregnant. Either that or I need to chain her to her room (just kidding).
The problem is that many parents have either become too busy to notice since they are so wrapped up themselves with work, other kids and seem to be in their own fantasy world that they can trust their kids and the kids that they hang out with. Other parents are just plain lazy and don't care. TV doesn't help. Just yesterday my daughter was watching a show that was on Nickelodeon about 6pm called Drake and Josh, but the whole time Drake is too busy in the show trying to make out with a girl. All of these TV shows on the kids channels are all about kissing and having boyfriends, which we all know what it leads to in the real world and our kids are watching it, thinking that its okay to go to school and only focus on making out. I now try to be strict with the TV and will not allow my kids to watch those show, which sucks because they are on all the time! Parents also have to be careful with who they let there kids hang with. Its not OK to just meet the parents, you need to know the kid. I have a neighbor girl that is the same age as my daughter, I met her family and thought they were nice, a few months later after getting to know the kid, my views changed and my daughter no longer plays with her. It is important for parents to play a constant role in their kids lives and stop worrying about being the kids best friend and being the cool parent, and start paying attention to what their kids are really up too and put a stop to it.

I know what you mean. It's so sad how little importance our society places on morals and sexual safety. I know some kids mature faster than others so you can't necessarily set up a certain magical age when a girl (or boy) is mature and ready for sex, but NOBODY....I repeat, NOBODY...is mature enough to have sex before they are a teenager...and most people aren't mature enough then. Basically, if you don't even know what you'd do if you got pregnant, you don't even have a plan, you shouldn't be having sex. I know, I know, "that's what birth control is for"...but apparently people don't know how to use it properly. Plus there are the diseases and emotional attatchments that NO ONE is ready for at the age of twelve.

well . you can thank the media and you can thank their parents who dont tell them how bad it is to be have sex at young ages..
what do you expect from a lil 10 years old girl who is inlove with britney spears and then one day wkes up and sees her role model in a sex video ?! see a lots of people say that kids do whatever on tv well thats right at some point. what they do is seeing their role models having sex 24/7 on tv. so they think " well its ok to do it since britney spears is doing it " or the famous line" everyone is doing it i dont wanna be the freak at my school"

Some parents like to get their teenagers out of their hair for awhile.
Problem is, it is the teen years when kids need to have parental guidance the most so they can learn to use their heads instead of being ruled by their hormones.
